About this ebook

In a world where your thoughts don’t belong to you, the person who controls minds will rule everything.

Welcome to The Society…

She was nothing. No one. Just one more starving teen scrabbling for life on the outskirts of The Society – the high-tech city where the Elites rule in luxury under the ever-watchful eye of the tyrannical President Wolfe.

But when Aura’s mother is arrested for crimes against the society, and Aura herself attacked while trying to flee, she discovers that she is one of the Gifted: people with psychic powers strong enough to shift the flow of history, to change the world around them… even to overthrow the “perfect” dystopia of The Society.

Now, Aura is on the run. Branded The Society’s most dangerous threat, and aided only by an exiled scientist, Aura must hone her skills and try to stay one step ahead of the government’s kill squads, all the while trying to figure out how to save her family and survive in a world bent on her destruction.

An impossible task, and about to get even harder.

Because now her mother has been imprisoned in Wolfe’s personal palace, and the only way to get her out is to be captured herself, escape a place no one has ever returned from… and overthrow the most powerful government in history along the way.

If you like The Hunger Games, Divergent, The Maze Runner, or Red Queen, you’ll love R. J. Wade’s Aura. A perfect blend of action, thrills, adventure, and intrigue, Aura is a dystopian young adult adventure like nothing you’ve ever read before. Get your copy now!

Interesting story, I started to lose interest halfway through but perseved and I'm glad I did. The reason for only 4 stars is that I hate stories that don't reach a conclusion. I know it's to entice the reader into buying the following book but it just makes me annoyed. For that reason I won't be buying the next one.

This is the first time Ive ever reviewed something but I seriously LOVED this. Had me on the edge of my seat and loved every bit. Had me physically gasping when something shocking happened. GREAT WORK!

About the author

R. J. Wade is a YA author from the North East of England. A lifelong book‑lover inspired by the likes of Roald Dahl, Enid Blyton and R. L. Stine, she grew up writing short stories, comics and poems before finding her creative voice through indie rock—with her music taking her across Europe, the USA and Japan.


She eventually turned her storytelling back to fiction, creating the Aura Jax trilogy: Aura, The Spark, and Wildfire, a dystopian urban‑fantasy saga exploring totalitarianism, resistance, and the rise of AI. Fans compare her work to The Hunger Games, Divergent, The Red Queen and The Maze Runner.


When she isn’t writing, Becky divides her life between cross‑fitting, travelling, and connecting with readers in her Readers Group. Visit www.RJWadeBooks.com to download your free Aura 'Extras' PDF and sign up for the group.
